Yes. This connects your computer to the phone system. Hard to believe, but that's how it all used to work!!!! :-)

Hello, yes this does require a phone line hooked up to it to use the fax functions. If you don't want to invest in a perm line I use vonyage. Hope that helps. Also works well on windows 8.1 Pro.

No, it just needs a telephone line. Either tip and ring from the phone company (POTS) or connect using modem to internet telephone service provider.

No. It works without the landline. You can link the line with 2 cell phones. Works just like having a landline. Great sound quality. Definitely happy with my purchase.

No this phone does not require a telephone system or internet. You plug it into a standard phone line just like you would any other land phone.

You need a phone line, but it does not have to be a "land line". I am using AT&T;'s wireless home system and it works fine. Should also work with VOIP

You do not need a land line. I dont have one and it works fine. I can even fax by scanning my document and subscribing to a digital fax service.

No it only has a phone line plug in. What you would want would be something like this..ION Phone Station Plus Bluetooth Speakerphone Station for Smartphones

It's not necessary, but in order to have full functionality, it will need to be connected to the internet via wi-fi. Without a wi-fi connection, you will only be able to make & receive calls & texts and use offline apps (like games).

No. This is an expansion handset that can only operate wirelessly with signals from a base unit. There is no direct phone line connection.

I tested it and you don't need to have a home phone line in order to use this cordless phone.. But of course you need a cell phone line...

It needs a land line phone, but it does not require land line phone service. It just needs the physical wiring.

No, it have no phone line (ADSL) capability, but it can survive a power failure because it have a great battery but only if you got a compatible USB 3G/4G dongle or other wifi signal to repeat. It is a great travel companion, I even used on a plane, connecting 3 devices to one gogo service. I have used it in several hotels and even on a Italian train sharing one hotspot with several devices and travelers... ;-) better is to keep it in secret shhh...

no you don't have to plug a phone into it. As long as you can answer the call from another phone on the same line

No. One phone line for the base unit is all you need. But read other questions I've answered about this phone. DON'T BUY IT.! IT'S JUNK. Go for a Panasonic instead.

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.
